[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Him sorry but you could not pay me to,send my kids to TJ. It's precisely what I don't want for my kids. To mention it in the same breath with the top boarding schools is laughable.  It's a niche school only and only for a certain kind of family/kid. [/quote]

Bing, Bing, Bing.  And we have a winner. Yep. TJ is a niche school for top STEM students only. If you have one such student, they are getting the best education possible for them. But guess what-- a top boarding school is also a niche education only for a certain type of family/ kid. I won't pretend to know or understand what that type of kid is, but I do know that it would never be my kid-- and he is a great student, and we are relatively affluent. But, just for starters, I am not done raising him yet.  And I'm sure you are "raising" a kid who is hundreds of miles away who you only see once every couple months.  But I prefer to hands on, day in, day out raise my child. And even if I was fine with sending him off as a 14 year old, he's an introvert who is not athletically talented, and would hate it.

I find it hard to believe there is much overlap between TJ and BS. It seems like they cater to different students with different strengths and families with different priorities. [/quote]
